Preclinical testing of collagen synthesis inhibitors for fibrotic disease

University of Liverpool Institute of Ageing and Chronic Disease Department of Musculoskeletal Biology

Fibrotic disease is characterised by an excessive accumulation of collagen within tissues, which then impedes tissue function. Organ fibrosis specifically kidney fibrosis, liver fibrosis, cardiac fibrosis and lung fibrosis have limited treatment options, pose a huge clinical burden and are life-limiting diseases. Read more
